Phố đi bộ Hà Nội được khai trương từ ngày 1 tháng 9 năm 2016, hoạt động vào cuối tuần, từ tối thứ Sáu (thường từ 19h00) đến hết ngày Chủ Nhật. Và trong thời gian này, các phương tiện giao thông cơ giới bị cấm hoạt động trong khu vực xung quanh hồ Hoàn Kiếm và một số con phố cổ, tạo không gian thoải mái cho người đi bộ. Hoạt động sôi nổi nhất thường diễn ra vào buổi tối, như các buổi biểu diễn của các nhóm nghệ thuật đường phố, triển lãm tranh, các trò chơi dân gian, hay các gian hàng bán món ăn đường phố …

However, in my opinion, the best time to take photos on the walking street is early morning or late afternoon, when the walking street is not too crowded and the sun is not too harsh, so it is easy to take satisfactory photos. And today, let's take a walk around Hanoi's walking street and neighboring streets to see what views we can capture.
- Hanoi Cathedral
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wTdQ6ZRU2vUWpkjn8
The Great Church is an ancient architectural work built in 1884 by French colonialists during the period of domination of Vietnam.


The church was built in the medieval Gothic architectural style, similar to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris in France. Gothic architecture is characterized by high, pointed arches, large stained-glass windows, and elaborate carvings.

The Cathedral is not only a religious building, but also a cultural symbol of Hanoi. This is the place where many cultural events and festivals take place, and is a famous tourist destination for domestic and foreign tourists.

Opposite the church is the very old Hanoi House cafe, don't miss this photo spot when you come to the Cathedral.

Besides Hanoi House, there is also Cong cafe with egg coffee and the autumn specialty of Hanoi, sticky rice with green rice. You must try it when you come here in the fall!

2. Nhan Dan Newspaper
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/BNCrJVj31pVAB8br8
Located at the intersection of Nha Tho Street and Hang Trong Street, Nhan Dan Newspaper is a very new check-in location for young people in the capital recently.

This is simply a newspaper store, but it is displayed and decorated in a very nostalgic style, with the main color being yellow.

The photo angles here are also very diverse. Simply sitting outside the door like this is enough to get a beautiful photo.


Tới đây cũng đừng quên mua một tờ báo Nhân Dân nhé. Ngoài theo dõi tin tức ra thì đây cũng là một “trợ thủ” đắc lực cho tấm hình của bạn trở nên đẹp hơn đó !

3. Nam Huong Communal House
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fTbvVzCd5fsxU3kV8
Nam Huong Communal House is only about 100 meters from Nhan Dan newspaper store, convenient for my travel to the next locations, so I stopped by to take some photos.

Nam Huong communal house has the characteristics of traditional Vietnamese communal house architecture with sophisticated carvings and mainly made of wood.

4. Loading T Café
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/G6FF9TPB6es7S84D7
A cafe with extremely ancient architecture, located only 200 meters from the Cathedral, very suitable for my old town photo shoot vibe today.

The architecture of this cafe resembles an old apartment building, still retaining the traditional features of old Hanoi.

Bên trong quán cũng được trang trí theo phong cách cổ xưa, với nền gạch đá hoa, cũng như những khung cửa gỗ đã sờn vết sơn. Giá đồ uống ở đây giao động từ 60 – 100k VNĐ, hơi cao một chút so với mặt bằng chung.

5. Phu Ung Temple
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5Gc4DhDYjakHSPHTA
A small temple located right next to Loading T Café, located at 25 Ly Quoc Su, with quite ancient architecture.

Ngôi đền này có quy mô khá nhỏ, tuy nhiên bên trong lại thờ cúng những nhân vật kiệt suất trong lịch sử Việt Nam, như Trần Hưng Đạo, Phạm Ngũ Lão, Yết Kiêu, Dã Tượng, …


Outside the temple there is also a building painted in beautiful yellow, don't forget to take pictures here before moving on to the next locations.

6. Hanoi Moi newspaper office.
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZZxsycFKcy6cpEHC6

A check-in location that is certainly very familiar to young people in Hanoi, the bulletin board of the Hanoi Moi newspaper office is always in a state of long lines waiting to take photos 😀

Trụ sở toà soạn báo nằm ở số 44 Lê Thái Tổ, được xây dựng vào năm 1893 theo phong cách kiến trúc của Pháp. Toà soạn báo nổi bật với tông màu vàng khá “cũ”, nhuốm màu thời gian và rất phù hợp với những bức ảnh mang thiên hướng hoài cổ.

7. Tháp Rùa – Hồ Hoàn Kiếm.
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fxz9fN2LBjESKVK16
Located right across from the Hanoi Moi newspaper office, this is the center of Hanoi's walking street, and is also a photo spot not to be missed when visiting the capital.

Đi dọc bờ hồ, ta có thể chụp ảnh cùng với rất nhiều địa danh nổi tiếng của Hà Nội, như Tháp Rùa, toà nhà VNPT Hà Nội, cầu Thê Húc, đền Ngọc Sơn, …


8. Vietnam Post Office Building.
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DJyD81BNjkeVEqZp9
This is a project located opposite Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi, consisting of three post office buildings located on Dinh Tien Hoang, Le Thach and Dinh Le streets, built in neoclassical and Art Deco architectural styles (According to wiki).

This is also a very popular photography location for young people in the capital.


Vào những ngày cuối tuần (từ tối thứ 6 tới hết ngày chủ nhật), thì những con phố ở đây được dành hoàn toàn cho người đi bộ. Nên việc “đứng giữa đường chụp ảnh” như này được thực hiện một cách cực kỳ dễ dàng.

9. Trang Tien Plaza.
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/i4izfWQUKEnKDK7X8
This is a branded shopping center, located at the intersection of Hang Bai and Trang Tien streets, also part of Hanoi walking street.




10. Hanoi Opera House
Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YLbNccsxjGmCWEmX8
Located at 1 Trang Tien, right next to Trang Tien Plaza, the Hanoi Opera House is the city's performing arts venue, hosting classical music, dance and opera performances.

This project was started by the French in 1901 and completed in 1911, modeled after the Opéra Garnier Theater in Paris but smaller in scale and using materials suitable for Vietnam's climate conditions.

This is also a very popular photography spot for everyone when coming to Hanoi, not only locals, tourists, but also photographers really love taking photos here.

And above are the 10 most beautiful photo spots that I find inside and around Hanoi's walking street. Each location has its own beauty, but they have one thing in common: they are all historically associated with Hanoi for many years. Not only are they beautiful photo spots, they are also historical witnesses, coexisting and developing with the capital Hanoi.
This list of places is based on my personal preferences. If there are any other beautiful places, you can also leave a comment below for me and everyone to know. Thank you for reading to the end of the article.
